And the man of importance has been abased,
But do not forgive them.

Both palm branch and bulrush in a single day.

And the people will be like the priest, the servant like his master, the maid like her mistress, the buyer like the seller, the lender like the borrower, the creditor like the debtor.

Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;
In the balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.

Then I said, “They are only the poor,
They are foolish;
For they do not know the way of the Lord
Or the ordinance of their God.

But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

The eyes

So it will be that when the Lord has completed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the pomp of his haughtiness.”

And the wicked for their iniquity;
I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud
And abase the haughtiness of the

ruthless.

And against whom have you raised your voice
And haughtily lifted up your eyes?
Against the Holy One of Israel!

And look on everyone who is proud, and make him low.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”

You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
